A few photos we took on Sunday, wearing some of the samples I had made up. I’ve been trialing a few tailors in Nairobi and this particular one was very cheap… however the inside part of the skirt didn’t turn out great… it still looks good on the outside, but wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.

This aside, it is amazing to see your ideas get made up in beautiful fabric and actually turn into items of clothing!!

I had no idea until I uploaded this photo, how much this skirt camouflaged with the bushes…this could perhaps come in handy if you ever needed to hide only half of your body?

I’m wearing a full skirt, again in the marbled fabric. I think for future pieces, I might make the skirts about 2 inches longer. As much as I love short skirts, ass coverage also does rate quite highly with me… this is one of those skirts that’s hopeless in any sort of windy or stair climbing situation!

Sorry about all the crazy overly frequent posting, I’m just determined to be blogging in real-time by the time I leave Nairobi, ie. none of this I’m pretending this happened today but really it was a week ago, carry on of late!

I am also in Lamu for the next two nights!! In the meantime, I have the stressful challenge of getting 65 kg worth of fabric freighted from Nairobi to Hanoi, hopefully without spending ridiculous amounts of money!!
